Cool, so as Frank asked, what went wrong in the original tests?

OK, I have done all the test I want. Next time when I post on the 617, it
will be with real images. Nevertheless, these images show off the
advantages of these large format lens well, I think. All of these were
taken with 20mm - 30mm of rise, no detectable light falloff as far as I can
tell, and of course being from the Acros film, the tonality is delicious.

Dragon in my office. Hmmm... need to clean up the cobweb. Nikkor 300 M
(Thanks Frank!)

Just a test to see how well the Nikkor handles the 30mm rise (max)

Same scene as above but with the Symmar-S 210mm (loaner from Pasvorn)

The scratch still remains, but we have now narrow down to the most likely
culprit - a nick in the film holder. (WTF, rusty roller and tiny nicks on
the edge of the holder? grr...)
*********
I don't have time to go to Bishop this weekend, but I will try to hit
either the trees (Red Wood State Park) or the coast in the next couple
days. I will even bring some Provia and Velvia...
